Details

If you are stung by a bee, does that make you more likely to get stung again? Might bees leave
behind a chemical message that tells other bees to attack you? To test this hypothesis, scientists
dangled a 4x4 array of 16 muslin-wrapped cotton balls over a beehive.
Eight of 16 balls had been previously stung; the other eight were
fresh. The response was the total number of new stingers left behind by the bees.
The process was repeated for a total of nine tials.
